ok guys...

well just to clarify..i have NO i mean NO external leaks, but it did take me 3 attempts and 2 shops before i could find someone who could fit that oil return pipe before it stopped leaking...


the turbo was rebuilt by the most reputable builder i could find...and in fact only the casing (1/2 of it) was retained...the shaft was badly scored apparently...

the change of turbo didnt affect the oil usage one bit, so unless both turbo's were leaking equally badly.....

so then i have 3 questions

1. foolproof method of testing rings
2. foolproof method of testing valve oil seals
3. foolproof method of testing valve guides...

ideally without taking the head off..

i really want to diagnose this as i have spent thousands (quite literally) trying to sort it on the next 'well its probably this' idea none of which have made a bloody diference!

That T5 is looking awfully attractive and cheap to run right about now! (i worked it out i can have volvo put in a new gearbox for less than i have spent on the 940 chasing this bloody oil usage!)
